A 14-year-old Boy Scout from Texas died Monday when a storm knocked a tree onto his tent at a camp in Georgia.

Elijah Knight of Cypress, 25 miles northwest of Houston, was sheltering from rain and 50 mph wind in a tent with a fellow camper, KPRC-TV reported.

He died from blunt-force trauma to his head and chest, authorities said.

Campers were attending a weeklong jamboree at Bert Adams Boy Scout Camp, which sits on 1,300 acres southeast of Atlanta. Attendees stay in canvas tents, according to its website.

"This is a very difficult time for our Scouting family," Atlanta-area Council of Boy Scouts Tracy Techau said in a statement. "We offer our deepest condolences to the victim and his family, and we will support them in any way that we can."
